• Client is arrested for a DWI with a BAC of .15
• Classified as low risk based on agency’s validated
risk assessment instrument
• Workshop instructor states that individual
should be treated as a high risk for supervision
purposes based on the high BAC.

The REAL Problem
• Lots of ways to do correctional programming, but no
set principles
• Risk and Needs are often confused
• There are no clear guidelines about assigning
offenders to controls or treatment
• The guidelines can be recidivism based, if we had
the data
• The RNR is complicated and hard to follow
5
Learning Objectives
• Rate Your Population
▫ Identify the factors associated with offending
• Effective Interventions
▫ Identify how to appropriately respond to those factors
to reduce recidivism and improve offender outcomes
• Rate Your Programs
▫ Identify appropriate program options to reduce
correctional costs without jeopardizing public safety
• Town Hall Discussion
6
Rate Your Population:
Factors Associated with Offending
• Empirically Based
▫ Static Risk
▫ Criminogenic Need>>>Dynamic Risks>>>>Linked to Criminal Behavior
 Drug Dependency
 Criminal lifestyle
• Clinically Relevant
▫ Destabilizers
 Drug Abuse or Alcohol Dependence
 Mental Health History
▫ Stabilizers





No Criminal Networks (friends & family)

Simplify the Criteria:
• Risk: Identify Offenders with an Extensive and
Early Onset Criminal History (Static Risk Level)
• Need #1: Identify Offenders who are Drug
Dependent or who Present Multiple Criminal
Lifestyle Factors (Criminogenic Need Level)
• Need #2: Identify Offenders with Potential
Destabilizing and Stabilizing Factors
Static Risk
Step One: Know the Risk Level
9
Risk Principle: High- to Moderate-Risk
offenders should be prioritized for placement in
treatment and control programs
• Offenders vary by level of probability of recidivism –
Static Risk
• Risk is static or unidirectional
▫ Risk stays the same or increases; it can not be reduced
• Risk factors are gathered from criminal history
information
▫ Age at first arrest, number of prior arrests, number of prior
probation/parole events, number of probation/parole
revocations, attempted/successful escapes from custody

Discussion
• What is the biggest struggle when considering
static risk?
▫ For you, for your agency?
• Where does risk fall short?
Criminogenic Needs
Reducing the Complexity
13
Need Principle: Criminogenic Needs
should be the primary focus of treatment,
control and programming
• Criminogenic Needs are dynamic factors & link
with offending behavior
• Reducing criminogenic needs reduces recidivism
• Target the key ones, and consider severity

15
Easily Identifiable Criminogenic Needs
• Drug Dependence
▫ Early age of first use of drugs, regular use of drugs associated with
offending behavior (criminogenic drugs - crack, cocaine, heroin,
other opiates, methamphetamine, other amphetamines), use of
criminogenic drugs at time of offense
• 3+ Criminal Lifestyle Indicators
▫ Criminal Networks
 Family or friends engaged in criminal activity
▫ Family Support
 Lack of visits, calls, or mail from children while incarcerated; receiving
financial support from family members prior to arrest
▫ Employment
 Not employed full time prior to arrest
▫ Education
 Less than a high school diploma
▫ Housing
 Unstable (homeless) prior to arrest
▫ Offenders who present 3+ have higher need and should be
targeted for more intensive services.

What do we know about Criminogenic
Needs
• ~9% of the prison and jail sample present with
drug dependence
• 24.7% have 3 or more criminal lifestyle needs

BUT… there are other variables which
are clinically relevant
• Drug Abuse/Alcohol Dependence
▫ Older age of first use, non-regular use of criminogenic
drugs, use of drugs at time of arrest, (but not
criminogenic drugs)
▫ Age of first drink, drinking at time of arrest, arrested
because of alcohol use, disruptions to work or
relationships due to alcohol use.
• Mental Health History
▫ Ever diagnosed with a MH disorder, ever taken
medication for mental condition, ever admitted to or
stayed overnight in a mental health hospital, ever
received counseling from a trained professional, ever
received other mental health treatment services
20
Presence of Destabilizer
• 71.3% of the prison and jail sample report drug
abuse or alcohol dependence
▫ 69% report both drug abuse and alcohol
dependence
• 6.3% report a history of mental health concerns

So What is Responsivity?
The Program Categories
31
Responsivity Principle: matching of clients to
programs and supervision based on their
identified risks and needs.
• Balance between supervision to respond to risk
and treatment programming to address needs.
• Program setting, dosage, implementation,
philosophy, and quality important influences on
outcomes.
32
Program Characteristics
• Restriction-restrictions (including the setting of the
program) are viewed as tools used by criminal justice agents
to assist in stabilizing, monitoring, and supporting offenders
in their efforts to change their behavior
• Dosage-combination of frequency, length of sessions,
duration of the intervention, and length of aftercare
• Content-use of empirically supported treatment
philosophies and evidence based practices.
• Fidelity-principles of effective interventions including
integrity and quality (Lowencamp, Latessa, & Smith, 2009)
Lowenkamp, C. T., Latesa, E. J. & Smith, P. (2008). Does correctional program quality really matter? The impact of adhering to the principles of
effective intervention. Criminology and Public Policy, 5, 575-594.

• Identify promising correctional programs supported
by the literature
• Meta-analytic techniques are the strongest evidence
since they summarize the literature
• ACE! “collaboratory” to identify and code systematic
reviews to identify known effect sizes
• To date Aos, Miller, and Drake (2006) have
identified multiple promising programs including:
CBT-based programs, adult drug courts, and
Therapeutic Communities followed by aftercare.

Discussion
• Do the program categories clarify the differences
seen in risk levels?
• Questions?
46
Next Steps
• Establish expected reductions in recidivism
following appropriate program placement.
• Expanding data to include pre-trial, diversion,
and probation samples using SCPS data.
• Pilot model with data from multiple
jurisdictions.
• Model can be used at the individual or
jurisdictional level.
